Agreed. Ultimately as shareholders we expected the highly prospective target at the KSZ to be drilled. In fact, many requested Ben do precisely that, when it was perceived he wasn't going to. No one can put the discovery into the earth. They can only find what is (or isn't) there. The KSZ has always been a high risk project with the Kalahari sand cover, no ability to use surface sampling or visual assessments.
All Ben could do was make the call to start the drill and make the call to stop the drill. He did both, and the second part very expeditiously.
Also, while dilution is never a beautiful thing for existing investors. Given the outcome on the drill, it seems it was a rather prudent risk managed approach and PB appear keen to honour it.
We've all lost capital on this at the moment, but the decisions are our own. While we must hold the management to account, we must all be objective and fair in our judgement.
